Instructions

Instructions are for 4 servings. Please modify as needed.

Cut the salmon into serving-sized pieces and brush with oil. Season with salt and pepper.
Cut the grapefruit into 1/2" (1.5 cm) slices and brush with oil.
Cook the salmon and grapefruit on the grill. It cooks quickly—a few minutes on each side will be enough. You could also fry them on high heat in a frying pan in some oil.

Tomato and almond pesto

Drain the tomatoes. Reserve the juice for another use; it keeps best in the freezer.
Puree the tomatoes and other ingredients in a blender or food processor.
Add oil towards the end.
Serve on a bed of lettuce, along with a hearty dollop of tomato and almond pesto.
